In scientific notation, if the exponent of 10 is positive, the number is very very large. In the metric system, very large numbers are expressed in megameters (Mm) or gigameters (Gm). Gigameters is equal to 10⁹ meters. So, in SI prefix, that would be equal to 150 Gm. In kilometers, that would be equal to:

1.5×10¹¹ m * (1 km/1000 m) = 1.5×10⁸ km

A small sphere is at rest at the top of a frictionless semicylindrical surface. The sphere is given a slight nudge to the right
V125BC [204]

Answer:

vi = 4.77 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft

- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves

- Initial velocity vi

- Final velocity vf

Find:

Determine the sphere's initial speed.

Solution:

- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R

Where, m: mass of sphere

             g: Gravitational Acceleration

             θ: Angle with the vertical

             N: Normal contact force.

- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R

                         g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R    

                         vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)

                         vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)

                        vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s

- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:

                          ΔK.E = ΔP.E

                          0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))

                          ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 =  vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))

                          vi^2 = 22.744

                           vi = 4.77 ft/s

Answer the following question: “Do the particles in a gas ever slow down and stop? Include information about the three states of
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

I hope it is no too late

Explanation:

hmmm,

In a gas, for example, the molecules are traveling in random directions at a variety of speeds - some are fast and some are slow. ... If more energy is put into the system, the average speed of the molecules will increase and more thermal energy or heat will be produced.

Given that on Earth, gravity causes an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2, what is an acceleration of 7 g?
zzz [600]

Answer:

68.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

1 g = 9.8 m/s^2

so

7 g × 9.8m/s^2 = 68.6

9) An object with a height of 18 cm is placed in front of a converging lens. The image has a
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Magnification = image height / object height = -9 / 18 = -0.5

b) Magnification = - image distance / object distance = -0.5

so image distance = 0.5 object distance

1/focal length = 1/image distance + 1/object distance

1/6 = 1/(0.5 object distance) + 1/object distance

object distance = 18.0 cm

c) Image appears behind the lens.
